First, if there is anything inaccurate on your credit report you can dispute it with the credit reporting agency. If it cannot be validated then they will remove it. Second, if one truly has bad credit the rebuilding process is slow. You have to first make sure any open credit you do have open is being paid promptly. Then you should try to obtain a small loan and put the loan proceeds in a savings account and pay that loan on time using your money in the savings account. If you cannot even get a small loan (try a credit union, they are much more eager to help someone trying to improve themselves financially) then try to borrow $500 or $1000 from an aquaintance...take that money to a credit union and ask for a share (or savings) secured loan. they will take this money and put it in a savings account for you (they will put a hold on it so you cannot withdraw it) and give you a check for the $500 or $1000. Take that check and repay your aquantance. Then repay that loan (on time) over the next year. At the end of the year you will have some positive credit established and your credit union will release the hold on that $500 or $1000 and allow you to withdraw it. Now that you have shown your credit union you are serious about rebuilding your credit they may be willing to give you a loan for something else. Overcoming neg credit takes time and committment.
